I actually like the idea of broadband internet as a utility. It implies that a) everyone have access to it like power, water, phone b) it must be reliable like power,water,phone c) it become commonplace like power, water, phone d) when was the last time your phone company tried to pull stunts like verisign does (sitefinder)
military spending is such a waste. I can't remember the last time i used something developed by the military. I think the net would be a better place without this kind of research.
sadly there are. go to any political forum like democratic underground or daily kos and you will see there is a group dedicated to "editing" rival political entries in wikipedia.
There are linux DVD players just that none are free. There are no free legal DVD players ON ANY OS. You know how everyone says MS Office,photoshop,reamweaver etc will never have a linux version because linux users do not pay for software, well that is quite true.
"1) I'm not a fan of video game-to-lousy-movies either, but comparing them to life in North Korea is, to put it mildly, demented."

" Google solved the aforementioned issues at 01/12/2005, by using=20
character encoding enforcement"
actaully, it looks like it was resolved almost ayear ago. Why is this even news? are we going to post old MS bug reports now?

" 'private flag' on torrents originating from pirate BitTorrent trackers, "
Is this the new editorial policy on Slashdot? fascinating
is this the beginning of Super Soldier Serum?
could it possibly be a typo for LISTENERSHIP

"frightening bills that have been voted on (and sometimes passed) in the US national assembly"
could you provide some information on the US national assembly, i have never heard of the body. I think Congress would be interested as well.

" It's not about whether or not there should be a rational way to play your DVD on your Linux laptop"
Except you can play your DVDs legally on linux. Im really not sure what this aricle is about..
There are linux DVD players just that none are free. There are no free legal DVD players ON ANY OS. You know how everyone says MS Office,photoshop,reamweaver etc will never have a linux version because linux users do not pay for software, well that is quite true.
Legal linux DVD player
Stop the BS about people trying to stop DVD playback on Linux. It just makes you look stupid.
